Do you love Columbus? Are you the go-to person when it comes to planning a night out, always ready with a recommendation for the city’s most seasoned finds and hidden hotspots?
As the Columbus, Ohio Community Manager, you will be a full-time Yelp employee (working out of your home or anywhere in your metro with WiFi) at the helm of a vibrant, buzzing community of locals who drink, shop, and play their way through the city via peer recommendations on Yelp.
The Community Manager role requires you to blend strong event planning, social media, and marketing skills with the goal of highlighting local businesses and further embedding the Yelp Elite Squad into the local community.
What is the Yelp Elite Squad, you ask? They are a group of Yelpers who have gone the extra mile with their content - think awesome photos, thoughtful reviews, complimenting others’ content, etc. In an effort to recognize these key contributors, we display “Elite” badges on their Yelp profile, and invite them to exclusive events with other locals that are put on by the Community team (aka you!).
What you'll do:
- You will be the face of Yelp in your region by attending local events and building connections with local business owners.
- You will conceptualize, plan, and execute Yelp events in your region.
- You will forge mutually beneficial partnerships with local businesses who are willing to partner with Yelp and sponsor events.
- You will support your Yelp Elite squad by answering questions, engaging with their content on Yelp, and keeping them up to date on the latest happenings in your city.
- You will research and curate local business collections featuring the best of your city for the Local Yelp newsletter.
- You will build relationships and partnerships with local organizations with the goal of reaching new audiences.
- You will manage the day-to-day curation and growth of Yelp’s regional social media presence across Instagram, including copywriting and visual asset creation via Canva and/or video curation and editing.
What it takes to succeed:
- You consider yourself a local expert on all things Columbus!
- You have 3+ years of professional experience in event planning, social media management, and/or marketing.
- You are willing to approach and connect with business owners to forge relationships and inspire collaboration on behalf of Yelp.
- You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
- You thrive in an autonomous environment where you have control over your schedule.
- You are energized by the idea of creative freedom.
- You have the ability to lift 10 pounds without assistance.
- Bachelor's Degree (Preferred)
Other Requirements:
- You live within 30 minutes of Columbus city center.
- You are at least 21 years of age and have reliable transportation options.
- Please include a cover letter outlining your interest in Yelp and why you are an ideal candidate. We’d also like for you to share a recent local business you supported!
- We expect our Community Managers to be the biggest cheerleaders and role models for their local Yelp Elite Squad. As such, Community Managers must always meet the Elite Squad eligibility requirements and comply with our Elite Terms of Membership.
Additionally, to maintain Yelp’s integrity and avoid conflicts of interest, our Community Managers are prohibited from accepting any form of compensation in exchange for promoting a company’s goods or services. This includes things like accepting free or discounted gym membership in exchange for promoting the gym on their personal social channels, attending a complimentary dinner in exchange for posting a review online of the restaurant that hosted the dinner and so on.
By submitting your application for this role, you represent that you have reviewed and understand the information above (including the information contained in the provided links) and will comply with these guidelines if offered the role at Yelp.
What you'll get:
- Effective your first day: Full medical, vision, and dental
- 15 days PTO (accrual begins on date of hire and increases with 2+ years of tenure thereafter), 12 paid holidays, plus one floating holiday
- Up to 14 weeks of parental leave
- Monthly wellness subsidy
- Work from home reimbursement
- Flexible spending account
- 401(k) retirement savings plan
- Employee stock purchase plan
- Compensation range for this position is $54,000 - $73,000 annually. You may also be offered a bonus and benefits.

Target engineering and product roles first
Yelp's sponsorship history is strongest in technical roles like software engineering and data science. If you're in a specialty occupation within tech, these departments offer the most realistic path to H-1B or E-3 sponsorship at Yelp.
Australians should ask about the E-3 specifically
Yelp has sponsored E-3 visas, which is meaningful, many tech companies overlook this category. If you're an Australian citizen, flag your E-3 eligibility early in conversations with recruiters, as it simplifies their process considerably.
Understand that Yelp sponsors Green Cards too
Yelp supports long-term immigration, including EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways. If permanent residency is your goal, ask recruiters directly about their PERM sponsorship policy and typical timelines for your role level.
Apply before H-1B lottery season closes
For H-1B roles at Yelp, timing matters. Employers must file petitions by April each year for an October start. Targeting Yelp openings in late 2025 or early 2026 gives you the best chance of being included in that cycle.
Use verified sponsorship data when searching
Not every Yelp job listing mentions visa sponsorship explicitly. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history and find Yelp roles confirmed to have sponsored candidates in your visa category.
Align your application to Yelp's core business strengths
Yelp operates at the intersection of local commerce, machine learning, and consumer technology. Candidates whose skills connect to search relevance, business intelligence, or platform scalability tend to be stronger fits for sponsored roles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Yelp sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Yelp sponsors H-1B visas and has a consistent track record of doing so across technical roles. The company tends to sponsor candidates in software engineering, data science, and related specialty occupations. If you're applying for a technical role, it's reasonable to ask the recruiter directly about H-1B sponsorship availability for that position.
Which visa types does Yelp sponsor?
Yelp sponsors H-1B, E-3 visa, and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3. This makes it a strong option for both nonimmigrant workers seeking temporary work authorization and candidates planning for permanent residency. Australian citizens should specifically highlight their E-3 visa eligibility, as it removes the lottery requirement and can speed up the process.
Which departments or roles at Yelp are most likely to receive visa sponsorship?
Visa sponsorship at Yelp is most common in technical departments, particularly software engineering, data science, and machine learning. These roles meet the specialty occupation standard required for H-1B and E-3 petitions. Non-technical roles such as sales or operations are less commonly sponsored, though it depends on the seniority and specific job duties involved.
How do I find open visa-sponsored jobs at Yelp?
Many job listings don't clearly state whether visa sponsorship is available, which makes it hard to know before applying. Migrate Mate lists roles from verified sponsors like Yelp, filtered by visa type and sponsorship history, so you can search with confidence rather than guessing from a generic job description. This saves time and helps you prioritize applications at companies with a real track record.
How do I improve my chances of getting sponsored by Yelp?
The strongest applications for sponsored roles at Yelp come from candidates with clearly defined specialty occupation backgrounds in tech. Tailor your resume to reflect skills relevant to Yelp's core products, such as local search, data infrastructure, or consumer-facing platforms. Apply early relative to H-1B cap deadlines, and be direct with recruiters about your visa status and timeline from the first conversation.
